Barring any last minute hitches, the Privileges Committee is expected to present its report on some contemptuous remarks allegedly made by the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, tomorrow, Wednesday.

Chairman of the Committee, Joseph Osei-Owusu told Parliament that the
report was not ready as of the time the motion was being moved on the
Floor of the House on Tuesday.

He also explained that the committee had decided to sit on the second matter brought against the same MP so a full report could be presented to the House.

Mr. Osei-Owusu, however, indicated that, if need be, the report on the first matter could be presented tomorrow.

“Mr. Speaker this motion was listed much earlier but left the order paper
for some time. And subsequently, another matter involving the same honourable
member was referred to the committee. So leadership was considering that
perhaps we could finish with the two and present the report together,” he said.

Privileges committee investigate Ken Agyapong

Mr. Agyapong was investigated by the Privileges Committee in 2018 after he
reportedly described Parliament as “useless.”

The investigation was done following a motion filed by Minority Chief Whip,
Muntaka Mubarak.

Kennedy Agyapong subsequently described Muntaka Mubarak as dumb for referring him to
Parliament’s Privileges Committee over the purported insult.
